“The idea of the competition and thematic scientific discussion came to me during a visit of CERN, when students presented their projects. Students’ developments differ with non-trivial approaches and proposals,” said the director of SFFR, Academician of National Academy of Science (NAS) of Ukraine, Borys Grinyov.

The project of fourth-student Andrey Lavrov of Vinnytsia National Technical University – “Control unit of systems of alternative energy sources and heating devices” – is an innovative decision on complex technical problems.

Author of the project proposed and developed a system of monitoring the consumption and distribution of thermal energy and alternative sources of heating devices. Its main advantage is the ability to use a combination of heating systems.

It’s based on one of the strains of Antarctic black Cryptococcus – Nadsoniella nigra, which were sown from samples obtained by Ukrainian scientists on Galindez Island (Ukrainian Antarctic Station “Academic Vernadsky”). Experimental studies have shown that using it wounds heal much faster and without scar formation.
